I searched MDL for the title. There are approximately 3,892 Thai titles containing the word "Duang." Maybe you're referencing "Duang With You?" Haven't seen it, or any of the other 3,891 "Duang" shows.

The last Thai BL I watched all the way through was "Moonlight Chicken"in 2023. :)

Please let me know what you think.

hmmm...still not really buying it.
Hell, Jin Man went there and tried to beat up Gyeong Se himself earlier in the show, with good reason. Now, he's "disciplining" Dong Man for doing the same? hmmm...
I suppose he's probably drunk, but I wish the script had given me a bit more clarity on that. When he showed up, I was hoping he was there to help Dong Man take on the baddies and give Gyeong an ass-whipping.

Agree!

I know!
It all makes for great drama, right?! :)

The time period within the series has nothing to do with the way in which writers/director tell the story.
I didn't say anything about "skinship," that's your word.

You know what's lame?
Permitting a drama to take up two hours of your time without giving you a compelling reason to keep watching...and then giving it a few MORE hours of your time.

I'll rate a show how I choose, thanks.
Why would I care that my rating gave someone a bad impression of a show I didn't like? I WANT them to have a bad impression of it.

15,000 other people here have this show rated 8.6/10, but you're worried about my measly little 1/10...? Weird.

In a way, he is showing self-respect by honoring a taboo part of himself and acting on it.
Would it be more self-respectful to deny his longing?
Isn't it the height of self-respect to acknowledge in oneself what society would shame one for?

Oh dear..."B word."
How will I go on living?

It's very much not the same thing.
I know...words are hard...but fun, too!

Oh look. Here you are trying to have the last word by stating your opinion that I can't go without having the last word...or something.

Hey Effie, thought I'd jump in here to clarify something, since your reading comprehension is wanting:
I did not "label" this series as homophobic, I labeled the style in which its story is being presented as homophobic.
Did you know words mean things and how one puts them together in sentences determines how words come together to convey larger meanings? It's true!

Yet, here you are again, explaining how my "shots" didn't land by explaining how my shots didn't land...or something.

I see you have as little sense of humor as you do taste.
Also, thanks for following me.
MDL tracks engagements with my comments and pays me accordingly.

"Isn't showing gay characters jumping straight to bed without deep emotional connection more homophobic?"

Please quote me where I wrote that the only alternative to this prudish, homophobic, Chinese silliness is that every gay character should "...jump straight to bed without deep emotional connection...?"

You can't quote me because I didn't say that. You made it up and then responded to what you made up. Try harder, and try not to think in black/white terms.

So, to be clear, you're saying that having an opinion held by a majority indicates a high level of discernment and taste, is that correct?
I live in the U.S. where Tr*mp was elected by a majority vote.
Need I say more?

Glad to know my "shots" got under your skin.

Why is he disciplining him?
I can't imagine that he cares that Dong Man is bad-mouthing Gyeong Se to his face.

A general "thank you!" to all commenters below, giving their thoughts on this richly drawn drama.
You're helping me get even more out what's going on, even though there's too much to handle in one sitting already. :)

Bingo.

I'm now glad it's coming out so slowly. Gives me time to digest. Each episode is far too full for me to eat in one sitting. I'll be rewatching 3 and 4 before #5 comes out.

And then, after it's all been released, THEN I will binge it. :)

If you're interested, I left a comment a few above yours about why I've come around to thanking NF for letting me have this in a slow fashion...
